MTL - 70s: Raising a Baby-Chapter 36

   Chapter 36

   There are a few tomatoes left at home, and Ye Jinzhi plans to make tomato noodles.

  The dough woke up for 20 minutes, and then started to flatten the dough with a rolling pin, roll out a thin sheet of dough, and cut it into thin strips with a knife.

   Peel the tomatoes and cut them into small pieces, put them in a pot and boil them before throwing the noodles out of the pot.

   "Mother, it smells so good!" Ah Hao's dog smelled the fragrance and found the kitchen.

   stood on tiptoe and tried to look up, trying to see what was being boiled in the pot.

   Ye Jinzhi was a little proud, she spent so long researching, she succeeded once, and it smelled pretty good.

   In the first two minutes of the pot, I beat five eggs.

  Several children smelled this smell, their stomachs were already growling, and now they were queuing up with bowls and waiting for Ye Jinzhi to give them to them.

   "Come on, be careful with the heat."

   Afraid that the bowls are too hot and let them burn.

   Ye Jinzhi helped them bring the bowl to the table first, it was really hot right after the pot was out, and his fingers were all red.

   "Bang—" He quickly put down the bowl, pinched his finger on the earlobe, and lowered the temperature.

   brought the bowls of the three children, Ye Jinzhi was not in a hurry to go back and serve them for himself.

"taste good or not?"

   His eyes were a little expectant, and he stared at the noodles that Ah Hao sucked into his mouth, feeling a little nervous.

   Under Ye Jinzhi's gaze, Ah Hao's little face was also a little serious, he tasted it carefully, and his eyes lit up.

   Chicken nodded as if pecking at rice.

"delicious."

  A Zhao and the others have also eaten it, and they are all satisfied, saying that it is sour and delicious.

   They have been eating steamed buns for several days in a row, but suddenly they changed their flavors, and they tasted delicious.

   The three children were so cheering, Ye Jinzhi couldn't hide the smile in his eyes.

   She turned around and went back to the remaining two bowls. Yuan Shaochen had to train early every day, and he brought back the breakfast at home from the cafeteria a few days ago.

   Today, she specifically instructed the young minister Yuan not to bring breakfast, she had to make it herself.

   Yuan Shaochen was a little worried that she would fail, and the three children attacked her self-confidence, and she ran back after training.

   "You're back, go wash and have breakfast."

  Ye Jinzhi held two bowls in his hands and carefully brought them out of the kitchen, when he saw Yuan Shaochen appear at the door.

"I come."

   took the bowl from her hand. The three children at the table were eating very seriously, and they didn't mean to raise their heads to say hello to him.

   Yuan Shaochen was relieved to see how delicious they were eating. In fact, as soon as he walked to the door, he smelled the fragrance and thought that it would not be too bad.

   took a quick shower and went downstairs to eat noodles.

  The three children have finished eating and are watering the seeds they planted a few days ago. They have to water them every day.

   "You have to grow faster, we have eaten you."

   Ye Jinzhi heard Ah Hao's words at the time, and was amused by him, why is he so cute.

   "Idiot, if you say that, the seeds must grow slower and slower. Who wants to be eaten." Axu patted his head.

   Ah Hao retorted unhappily when he heard it.

   "Who said it, if it doesn't give us food, then what's the point of him growing up."

   It makes sense to say this. No matter how they laugh at him, Ah Hao still waters the seeds earnestly, hoping that he will grow up quickly.

   In fact, when growing vegetables in the summer, Ye Jinzhi didn't expect these seeds to germinate. She felt that the weather was so hot, and she had no experience in growing vegetables, so she didn't have much hope, so she let a few children water.

   Ye Jinzhi sometimes wondered if A Hao and A Xu were twins, why the gap was so big.

  If it weren't for the same length, some small movements were the same as before, which really made people wonder if the original body was checked wrong at the time.

   Listening to the laughter of the three children outside, Ye Jinzhi and Young Master Yuan sat at the dining table and ate noodles.

  Maybe the cook smells a lot, and no matter how delicious it is, it doesn't have a great appetite.

  Yuan Shaochen ate very fragrantly. He ate the noodles with a big mouthful, and he ate it immediately. He didn't even let go of the soup in the bowl, and he didn't drink a single mouthful.

   Eating cleanly is an affirmation for the cook. Seeing that his cooking is so popular, Ye Jinzhi is in a very good mood.

   Yuan Shaochen did not leave in a hurry, sitting there waiting for Ye Jinzhi to finish eating, he took the bowl in and washed it.

  When the young minister Yuan went to wash the dishes, Ye Jinzhi also went upstairs to change his clothes, and went to buy vegetables later. When he came back, he would take three children to study.

   Originally started four days ago, and it was because of the delay of Yuan Shaochen for so many days.

   Yuan Shaochen washed the dishes and saw that Ye Jinzhi was nowhere to be seen in the living room, so he guessed that she had gone upstairs.

   The door to the room was unlocked and opened with a slight twist.

  Ye Jinzhi was still changing clothes inside, and was taken aback. It seemed that it was the Yuan Shaochen who turned around and was about to flee.

   Yuan Shaochen didn't expect that he would be such a glamorous picture as soon as he came in, and a dry heat came up.

   His eyes gradually darkened, his black pupils were unpredictable, he stared firmly, and his throat swallowed up and down unconsciously.

   Ye Jinzhi was just undressing, and her fair and smooth back was fully exposed in front of the man.

   He was in a hurry for a while, put on his clothes in a panic, and felt the naked eyes on his back.

  's voice trembled a little: "You, you turn around, you are not allowed to look."

   Yuan Shaochen knew that no matter how uncomfortable it was, it made her feel uncomfortable for so many days at one time, and she had to go out later.

   Obediently and obediently, look away, see too much or suffer yourself.

   Feeling the heat on his back, he looked away, and Ye Jinzhi's heart, which was beating fast because of his nervousness, also slowed down.

   Quickly dressed, both of them breathed a sigh of relief, Yuan Shaochen was afraid that if she didn't dress properly, he would rush on uncontrollably.

   opened the door, his feet were a little soft, Ye Jinzhi glanced at Yuan Shaochen angrily.

   As soon as she got dressed, she thought she was safe, but she didn't expect to be blocked by him in the corner as soon as she turned around.

   Yuan Shaochen knew that he was wrong, and stepped forward to support her as if to please her.

   Downstairs, the three children were already sitting on the sofa waiting for her.

   "Mother, why is your face so red? Are you uncomfortable again?" Ah Zhao looked like a little adult.

   Ye Jinzhi was a little embarrassed and made a poor excuse.

   "It's too hot, let's go, we'll be back to practice calligraphy later."

   Seeing that he still has to ask, quickly change the subject.

   Sure enough, when he heard this, Ah Zhao fell silent.

  The whole family went out, and the former young minister separated from them at the door.

  The sequelae of being sick is that when you meet someone on the road, you will stop and ask you, "Are you feeling better?"

   Almost everyone she met along the way would ask her a question, whether she knew it or not, many Ye Jinzhi had never met.

   had to smile awkwardly, nodded, and quickly walked through with the child.

   I didn’t stop after I bought things. I left as soon as I finished shopping. Fortunately, there was no one on the way back.

   "Azhao, you practiced today's brush, and then copy these words ten times."

   "Axu and Hao recognize the numbers first."

   Arrange the tasks of several children and leave them in the study room to complete them.

   She came to the next room, and she hasn't come in since she moved the musical instrument over that day.

   opened the lid, pulled out the chair below, and tried the sound first.

   When she came here, she didn’t have so much work to do, she was very free every day, and she didn’t think about what she wanted to do for a while.

   I plan to pick up the piano during this time, just in time to practice the piano and let my hands become familiar.

   The three children pursed their mouths in the study, all earnestly completing the tasks given by Ye Jinzhi.

  Although Ah Zhao and Ah Hao were reluctant, they were obedient and didn't think about cheating.

   For a while, only the sound of the piano reverberated in the house, and no other sounds were heard.

   But she didn't play for too long, and the soundproofing of the house was not very good, so people outside could hear it.

   Ye Jinzhi is going to teach them English after they finish their homework. After all, this kind of thing is the best from elementary school, so that children can master the language sense.

   And the three children still have a little basic knowledge. Father Ye used to communicate with them in the simplest English conversation.

  Looking back now, their memory was immediately called out.

   Ye Jinzhi also told them that in the future, during their study, they would have conversations in English.

It doesn’t matter if    doesn’t understand, she can make corresponding actions or explain it in Chinese when they don’t understand.

   The same sentence will be repeated several times so that they can remember.

   "Little Leaf, are you there?"

  Ye Jinzhi was just drawing lines on the fabric that Li Yan brought over, ready to cut.

"Here I am."

   got up and walked out, only to see Aunt Liu beckoning to her with an anxious face.

   "What's the matter." Thinking something big happened, he ran over quickly.

   "Hurry up, bring your money and a basket, there is beef in the supply and marketing agency, hurry up, or you won't be able to buy it."

   One of Ye Jin heard that and ran back to the basket, the three children were in the room.

   ran upstairs again and told them: "Mother is going to buy something, you are good at home, come back and cook something delicious for you, don't run out, you know?"

   The three children are very obedient and said they will stay at home obediently.

  A Zhao also volunteered to stand up: "Mother, don't worry, I will take good care of my brother."

   In fact, there is almost no danger here, but I remind myself to make myself feel more at ease.

   Besides, on a hot day, it’s easy to get prickly heat when you run out, and it’s them who will suffer.

   "Let's go." After closing the door, Aunt Liu dragged her and trotted over.

   Now the meat is not easy to buy, and if she went late, there is almost nothing left. There are only some leftovers that no one wants, and some clean shaved bones.

  The meat and bones are really clean, and there is no core of minced meat to be seen. Ye Jinzhi also admires these people very much.

   "How come there is beef for sale." Ye Jinzhi was a little strange, now that beef is very expensive.

  In the countryside, those people are better to cattle than to people, after all they can plow the fields and pull carts.

   Liu Guihua knows it.

   "I heard that when someone was driving, he didn't pay attention to the road and hit the cow. No, no one is willing to kill the cow."

   Sure enough, I was right. If I come later, there may be no meat.

   When I arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative, I saw a lot of people crowded at the door, almost everyone had a basket in their hands.

   They are all family members of the army, and the official positions who can join the army are not too low, and the monthly salary is not too small. When they finally have meat, they naturally rush to buy it.

   Looking at the crowd, Ye Jinzhi didn't know what to do. She watched the people in front of her squeeze so hard, and she was afraid that she would be squeezed in.

   "Everything is crowded, and everyone is lined up to come one by one."

   Liu Guihua is still very dignified among the military wives, and in a word, those people can be honestly lined up.

   Even if someone is dissatisfied, they don't dare to say it. After all, she is the commander's wife. If she says a word, she must not affect her own man.

  It will be much faster to line up, and it will be Ye Jinzhi soon.

   "I want brisket and this piece." She pointed to the sirloin.

   "The little girl understands it very well." The meat cutter knew at first glance that this was a know-it-all, and most people pick places with a lot of oil.

   Ye Jinzhi smiled and didn't speak, the piece of her finger was what everyone called the filet mignon.

   If it weren't for the fact that she could buy a maximum of ten kilograms by herself, she would still like to buy a little more. After all, it is not so easy to buy beef now, and there is no need for a ticket.

  The master cut off the whole piece of meat for her in one go. The meat on a cow is only four or five pounds, which is why it is so expensive.

   But now the cow was bought by the troops, and the meat was sold to them at one price, and they earned it.

   When I went back, Liu Guihua was still a little sore, and the meat cost a lot of money.

   Ye Jinzhi thought about what to eat. She bought potatoes at home in the morning and used them to stew the beef brisket. She was going to fry the other filet mignon.

  Since I made a successful meal in the morning, my confidence has greatly increased, I just rolled up my sleeves and did it without worrying about failure at all.

   In order to give herself more time to prepare, she started preparing as soon as she got home.

   But she cut the brisket first, and then she didn't know what to do. Did she cook it directly with the potatoes? Or cook the brisket first?

   Finally succumbed to reality, she finally gave up, and waited for Yuan Shaochen to come back and talk about it, she really couldn't do it herself, and there was no such method in the cookbook.

  Since he couldn't do it, Ye Jinzhi didn't bother, and continued to do what he did before buying the beef.

   The last time Li Yan came over with the fabric, she forgot to measure her measurements. Now I do it based on my own feelings, and I can change it if it’s not accurate.

  Before doing it, I was afraid that if I didn’t do it for too long, my hands would become rusty, but I didn’t expect that if I kept going, it would be like a magic spell in my head. I went down step by step without any mistakes.

   I was a little surprised when I finished it. I didn't expect the effect to look good, with a natural drape, and the skirt was slightly folded.

   I thought I didn’t do it for a long time, I would be a lot rusty, and I left a lot of time. Now I’m doing it fast, and it’s still early.

   She plans to take down the easel, she wants to paint her current home.

   Although she bought a camera to take pictures, she had to take pictures by herself, but she had no tools at home, so she had to give up.

   Besides, the current camera shoots in black and white. Even if it is shot, the effect looks far from what it looks like now.

   "Mother, I want to paint too."

   Ah Hao really wanted to take a step in what others did, and when Ye Jinzhi wanted to paint, he also wanted to.

   Ye Jinzhi had no choice but to give him a piece of paper and a pen and let him draw what he wanted to draw.

   He is also very smart, knowing that Ye Jinzhi has a lot of colors here, and he doesn't go anywhere else, just sits next to her.

  I also learned Ye Jinzhi's movements, and I even had to color it when I finished it.

   Ye Jinzhi couldn't help laughing while watching it. Once the paint was applied, only the paint was left, and the painting was completely covered up by the paint.

  The mother and son took the brushes in their hands very seriously, one stroke at a time, completely forgetting the time.

  A Zhao and A Xu saw that there was no A Hao upstairs, they thought he was sneaking out alone, and wanted to find him while Ye Jinzhi was not paying attention.

   Who knows, as soon as they reached the stairs, they saw the mother they thought was in the piano room appeared in the living room, and Ah Hao was sitting beside him.

   Ah Zhao motioned to his younger brother to keep quiet, the two brothers held hands and walked downstairs quietly without disturbing them.

   Ye Jinzhi and Ah Hao also focused on their work, and did not see the two children passing behind them.

   The two brothers each held a book and sat on the floor behind Ye Jinzhi, and did not go to the sofa.

   The tip of the pen drops the last stroke, and the scene in the painting is highly overlapped with the picture in front of him.

   Painting is really tiring, I feel back pain when I stand up.

Ah Hao next to    was completely unaffected by his mother, and his face was tense.

  Because the use of the brush is not smooth, he started directly, his fleshy little hands are full of paint, and he can get it all over his body.

"what?"

   Ye Jinzhi found that what Ah Hao painted seemed to be
